DAWID AND MARCIE – THE DAY…

Dawid and Marcie attended the same high school, went to the same parties and events, but just never really crossed paths. It wasn’t until they started working at the same place that they finally officially met. One day in the cafeteria, Marcie was looking down when Dawid walked by. Mistaking him for a co-worker, she made a comment about his shoes. A deep, booming voice responded, and surprised, Marcie looked up and smiled. She still teases him about his size 14’s to this day!

2 years ago, Dawid had planned a romantic summer trip to Quebec city for the two of them. In the process of building their first home together, Marcie thought that they should cancel or postpone the trip and use the money towards their new home. Dawid wasn’t so sure, but caught wind of the fact that Marcie suspected he was going to propose on the trip. He had secretly planned a horse and buggy ride and a surprise picnic overlooking the St. Lawrence. Dawid, following Marcie’s request, agreed to cancel the trip. On bended knee, in a pile of sawdust, Dawid asked Marcie to marry him in the middle of their newly framed home. Complete with a single red rose and a reservation at their favourite restaurant, Marcie said yes. A beautiful memory, but still longing for the romantic trip to Quebec City, they are considering going there on a mini honeymoon this summer before they head for their actual honeymoon in Europe this fall. Congratulations Dawid and Marcie!

KEVIN, KATIE AND AVERY – THE LIFE…

Katie is actually Nicole’s sister (see Nicole and Andrew – the question…) and they set up their shoots back to back so that they could get some family shots all together too. Katie and Kevin met in 1999 at a friend’s cottage and in their words, “It was love at first sight”. Married in 2005, Avery joined their world last July and their family is now complete!

NICOLE AND ANDREW – THE QUESTION…

High heel shoes, walking half way across the city and getting caught in the London Knight’s victory parade – a first date impossible to forget. Nicole and Andrew were set up by a mutual friend and planned to go out for dinner in London on a blind date. Thinking they were close to the restaurant, they parked the car and started walking. Little did they know that the Knight’s victory parade was about to swallow them whole and that they were actually parked 7 blocks from the restaurant. A perfect beginning!

That was three years ago. Now Nicole and Andrew spend their lives together giving back to others. Andy works as an employment specialist helping individuals with disabilities get jobs and helps coach them back into the workplace. Nicole is a Registered Practical Nurse at two London hospitals and is heading into her 3rd year of the BScN program. Around helping others, they always find time for each other and their families, and Sebastian, their cat (secretly disguised as a raccoon).

YAIRA – OUR LIFE…

All week Yaira has been talking about her mother in law coming to visit. The house is perfect, the groceries are bought and everything is set to go – including Yaira. She walked into the office today in the cutest little dress and we just couldn’t resist taking some photos of her. She’s 20 weeks pregnant (with a boy) and is glowing more and more every day. Yaira, we’re so happy to have you on our team and hope you have a great visit with your family!
